It's definitely the format and the quantity for me. Seeing an old friend in person and having them tell me about their life and accomplishments, even showing me pictures, does not make me feel the same way. I think it's also the f

I agree with you that I wish social media was full of more posts like this, but foodgrams and humble brags as you put it are also one of the reasons I avoid social media these days. Seeing a feed of the best moments of other peoples lives l

Thank you for your answer. Personally, as a gamer the idea of cross game microtransactions and collectibles does not interest me. Minecraft skins are free and easy to create, you can make yourself look like Mario if you want, or anything el

I was with you initially, but after thinking about it could be argued that creating classes that are overwhelmingly white in an overwhelmingly non white district are something approaching segregation. In the end, all that is being done to t

The main problem with suicide is that it forecloses the possibility that your life will get better. And it can. The fact that you care about leaving your connections in distress tells me you care for people. This is normal and good and make

I don’t know what has brought you to this point in life, but I’m sorry that it has you considering suicide. For me, being a workaholic left me feeling disconnected and isolated from the world. The antidepressants didn’t help, they just numb

Listening to the audiobook while smoking is how I quit. Took me two attempts but it really wasn’t some grueling, terrible ordeal the whole time. Smokers and non smokers alike romanticize smoking excessively. Listening to Carr helped me real

Chewing gum is a fine. There’s a lot to be said about caning in Singapore but you’re not going to be caned for chewing gum.

There’s a good chance some of them are. Or Drupal, which is very similar.

You talk as if every person in every developing country is desperately trying to leave, which is absurd.

You can’t imagine that there are people who are smart enough to code, but wouldn’t otherwise be doing so if the salaries weren’t so good? The pay is really good right now. Lots of people I know who did boot camps were doing things like rese

I read the article and it’s definitely still newsworthy. Do 200 employees protest at your office regularly? FAANG and others have become so large that pretty much anything out of the ordinary that happens there is newsworthy.

You usually serve yourself at a buffet, and it’s usually from one vendor. A canteen like this could have multiple vendors. A buffet is also usually “all you can eat” and priced to account for that.

Moving to Boston and living there is expensive. Some people can’t just leave their family behind for 4 years. There are more costs to College than tuition. There’s also the opportunity cost of going to college instead of working and earning

Why would you assume that they have this bug? If you’re actually curious if the bug exists go read the code or try it yourself.
